<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I'm finding many students that still struggle with the parent's marital status. I'm finding them by running a report of those that show divorced/separated but filed married joint or married separate returns.

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I know this can happen, but when the divorce/separation date is 2005, I find that they answered the question based on the biological parents but the custodial is remarried. In most cases, I think it's an honest error
but then the income questions only ask for one parent's income info so they usually qualify for more aid than they should.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I have 78 students on the report that I ran today. My question is, are any of you researching, institutionally selecting, or otherwise trying to resolve what I consider to be conflicting info? It's time consuming and
of course, makes you the "bad school" if other schools don't resolve it, but I feel like it should be looked at to protect tax dollars for which these students are not eligible.</p>
